Happy Friday, friends!
I hope you had a wonderful week! It’s crazy to me that June is halfway over. Between a mission trip, a birthday, VBS and coming back to Texas, I feel like our week has FLOWN by.
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing this week’s FAVORITE THINGS!
I hope you have a wonderful Friday!
Well, of course…
…Ashby’s 12th birthday was our favorite Fave!
You guys, how did she wake up and overnight look TWELVE?!
We started the day with a special birthday breakfast followed by church and then she and Mades swam in the backyard with some neighborhood friends before everyone went home and showered for…
…her party bus birthday! Ashby wanted to invite Madeley and eight friends on a fun party bus to dinner. Andrew and I, of course, tagged along and when it was all said and done, Andrew said he wished all of the kids’ birthday parties were this much fun. We had a BLAST!
These two girls were SO excited! The girls all had one table to themselves at the restaurant while Andrew and I shared a table for two nearby.
Ashby London, we sure do love you! It was a wonderful day celebrating her birthday!
This guy is just too sweet not to be a Fave this week…
…oh geez, Puppy Charlie, we love you. He is just THE SWEETEST!
That face…
…just so cute. His three big dog sisters are a tight bunch, but they’re letting Mr. Charlie in the mix too.
I went to dinner on Nantucket last week and our server had THE CUTEST earrings on! After the second time I complimented them, she pulled out her phone and showed me where she bought them…
…and they’re AN AMAZON FIND! The quality blows my mind for the price. They are oh so cute, and I’m oh so happy to have them too! I wore them to church on Sunday and received two different compliments myself.
Speaking of church…
…it was Vacation Bible School this week! This was the first year any of my kids have been able to attend a traditional VBS, and THEY LOVED IT!!! Both girls told me that when they are older (after they complete the 6th grade) they want to volunteer to help as well. I love that they had so much fun they want to keep coming back even after 5th grade.
While they were at VBS…
…I spent time at my happy place 🙂 . If you missed yesterday’s TRADER JOE’S SUMMER HAUL make sure you check it out!
Lovie and Papa Jay came over for dinner plus three cute kids this week 🙂 . I barely saw the boys as they were glued to Smith the entire time outside (he LOVED it!) while these two girls played oh so sweet inside.
A few #OOTD this week…
THESE SHORTS are super comfy!
My summer uniform on repeat: TANK + SHORTS + SANDALS
My HOOP EARRINGS are another steal!! They’re so light and easy to wear!
Annnnnd once more this week: TANK + SHORTS + SANDALS

Beth Knecht says
Did Ashby get a beautiful sign for her birthday? Oh my gosh I just love Amy’s signs. She made the cutest one for Graham’s Trash Bash!! Blown away by her creativity!
Mix and Match Mama says
She did!!! I will take a pic and add it to a post! My birthday sign wall had to start overflowing to another wall upstairs. They make me so happy 🙂 .
Katie says
Hi Shay! Can you tell us more about your phone case and pop socket? I love love the bright pink! Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s that basic one I love, use and swap out often from Amazon! Here you go: https://shopstyle.it/l/ccuxC and the pop socket is here: https://shopstyle.it/l/ccuxD
Kristy Moore says
When did Ashby become a young lady??!!! So grown up!!! I have loved watching her grow and change over the years. Thanks for sharing and a very Happy Birthday to Ashby!!
Elizabeth says
Are you able to link your two necklaces you’re wearing in the picture where you are showing your shell earrings?
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re both oldies but goodies from Kendra Scott. I believe all of (or at least the majority) of my simple layering necklaces have come from them over the years.
Kacy M says
VBS was the best as a kid! I also volunteered as a helper when I was in high school.
Mix and Match Mama says
I did too! I’m so excited they had a great time!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I love those shell earrings, too! They just scream summer! And I cannot believe Ashby looks like a little teenager! Her party idea was so cute!
